New World Order

I have read/heard a lot from some audiophiles about how digital is the death of good audio. While I think that digital done poorly is definitely atrocious, digital audio done well is a dream. I have recently acquired a component that has made my digital experience even better: the Squeezebox from Slim Devices. This allows me to play my entire digital library in my main system extremely easily. I can stream all of my networked music, right to my stereo. The Squeezebox has a built in Burr-Brown 24-bit DAC, as well as digital outputs that can be connected to any external DAC I choose. At that point it becomes a digital transport with no moving parts, and as long as I rip my CDs carefully the first time, I do not need to worry about it after that. After that, it is all just bits.
